Yes. And you'll find that for scanning Unix boxes, there are some
features that Tenable's wares have that one of their rather aggressive
competitors lacks (sudo / su and sudo+su) lacks. This came to light
during a shootout I did. So whatever vendors you look at, be sure to
look carefully at the authentication options supported for unix
scanning.

The only host-based vendors I was aware of that could do anything on
unix were bigfix and landesk, and with neither being security
companies, the coverage is ... not really what an infosec group wants
to know.
